Joshua was our Angel on
earth and now he is our Angel in Heaven watching over us all.
I want to share how Joshua came to be a part of
our family, and a very important part of our lives. Forever to live in
our hearts.
My husband and I was expecting a child that was due
December 9,1984.Although I miscarriage in my fourth month.
Some months later we were told my friends Aunt was
expecting and she was uncertain what she was going to do with the baby.
We agreed we would adopt the baby. Unreal as it may seem he was born
December 9,1984 same due date as the baby I lost. I know God found
another way to bring me my sweet Joshua.
Joshua from day one was a special angel. He had a lot of health problems
when he was born due to poor prenatal care by the natural mother.
Although this only bonded me with him more. You could hardly tell when
he was coming down sick because he just never complained.
I have two other children who are older who I gave
birth to naturally. I can truthfully say I love all my children equally.
The fact that Joshua was adopted didn't affect my love for him. In fact
most of the time I forgot I didn't give birth to him.
I would give anyone the advice that was thinking about adoption that it
is wonderful. For the minute you hold that child in your arm, that child
becomes a part of you. As Josh and I always agreed family was about the
love not about the blood.
I will talk more about Joshua and share
pictures on the next page. Now I would like to tell you about the day
Josh left his earthly home and went to Heaven.
Joshua had been excited for years about driving. I made him wait until
he was 17 to get his license. I felt that was a more responsible age. He
got his license July 3,2002.
He had went to pick up his friend they drove
out to the mall ,on the way back stopped for ice cream, and then he took
his friend home. From his friends he called and asked if his friend
could come home with him and I said yes. He said I love you mom see you
soon and hung up. That would be the last time I ever heard him say I
love you again. The choice was made they would drive in separate
vehicles back here.
The next call I received was from his
friend , saying that Josh had been in an accident. He had lost control
of his truck when attempting to pass. There are conflicting stories that
were told how exactly this happened. All that don't seem to matter when
the end results was Joshua never came home again. There was no alcohol
or drugs involved, and Josh was wearing his seatbelt. They said he
didn't suffer that he passed instantly on impact. We all miss him so very much and he is in our prayers and hearts forever.
I am making this web page in
memory of Joshua for his 19th birthday. Happy Birthday Joshua, I love you.
